2019 federal election Saturday 18 May 2019

Counting of House of Representatives ballot papers continues this weekend in all of the AEC’s 79 count centres across Australia. Senate scanning of votes also continues in the eight Central Senate Scrutiny centres.

It is anticipated that the first official AEC results of the federal election will be declared early next week. Counting will continue for all 151 House of Representative seats over the coming weeks with a number requiring a full distribution of preferences before a result can be declared.
